Interview with Edgar Stengel In a wide-ranging interview conducted at his home in the German city of Wuppertal on 20 July 2020, Edgar Stengel recalls the lead up to the 1953 competition in Madrid and the event itself. Born in 1936 in Wuppertal, Stengel’s father was also a tool maker which is why he decided to go into the trade. Stengel recalls that he was in the second year of his apprenticeship when he received a call in his workshop by the company that was training him and asked if he would like to travel to Spain. He, like the other German participants, did not undertake any qualifying competitions to take part in the contest. They did however take a crash course in Spanish. Stengel won a second place trophy in the Tool Making category; his Spanish rival came first. Stengel speaks about wider events at the time, recalling that Wuppertal was considerably damaged by the Allies during the Second World War and that in the 1950s West German industry realized the urgent need for skilled labour in order to be prepared for the future. Stengel himself would go on to become an engineer and credits his vocational training as providing a solid foundation. -
